Short Baseline Neutrino Anomalies at Stopped Pion Experiments

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2023-10-23 v1

Abstract

Stopped-pion experiments that measure coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEν\nuNS) are sensitive to sterile neutrinos via disappearance. Using timing and energy spectra to perform flavor decomposition, we show that the delayed electron neutrino component provides an independent test of short-baseline anomalies that hint at \sim eV-mass sterile neutrinos. Dedicated experiments will be sensitive to nearly the entire sterile neutrino parameter space consistent with short-baseline data.
